If you watched HBO's "The Newsroom" last night, you may have seen me in a quick scene with Jeff Daniels and Sam Waterston. So much fun to be back on that set and such an honor to work on my favorite show on TV.
Hopefully more next season!!

Happy Thursday everybody!
A few months ago, Brilliance Audio was kind enough to trust me to narrate the lovely Tween novel "Below" by Meg McKinlay.
Today, Audiofile Magazine was kind enough to say some lovely words about my narration. Here's a snippet:

Tara Sands's narration is lively from the first word. Her rich characterizations of the entire quirky cast make it easy to dive into the story. Eventually two compelling developments emerge for Cassie: a friendship with a boy her age and the mystery of a luxury car they find submerged in the reservoir. 

Thanks!!

If you know a Tween who might like this book, or if you are craving a sweet coming of age story for yourself, check it out here:

My addictions - waaaaay off topic!

OK people, I have 2 addictions in life, and it's time I come clean and share them with you.

The first is the car service Uber. It's amazing. Same price as a regular taxi and 1000 times better.  I would just feel bad about myself if I didn't tell you about it. I've been introducing my skeptical friends to it and now they are hooked. Oh, and here's the link. We both get credit if you click on it to sign up, so it's a win-win!!!!

My other shameless addiction is Amazon Prime. I hope you already have this, but if you don't,  I'll give you a link for a free 30 day trial. You will be hooked. Free 2 day shipping and tons of free stuff to watch online.





Now I have to get back to work. I have 3 books to record this month that I can't wait to tell you all about.
More info soon!

Some Of My Favorites to Narrate!

Lots of exciting stuff happening....check out "Tom Hanks' Electric City" at http://electriccity.yahoo.com
It's a great new animated web series. I voice the roles of Roger Moore and Young Jane.

Starting this Sunday, you can hear my voice in a fancy museum exhibit! It's at LACMA as part of the exhibit "The Sun and Other Stars."  I did voices for the animated video that will run alongside the art. I play 3 different obnoxious teen aged girls, naturally.

In audiobook news, I have a few projects coming out soon. I recently narrated "Pushing The Limits" by Katy McGarry, "Minnie McClary Speaks Her Mind" by Valerie Hobbs, and "Celia and the Fairies" and "Favorite," both by Karen McQuestion.

I also just did a radio spot for McDonalds, some voices for the anime series "Tiger and Bunny," and lots of station imaging for Kiss108 in Boston and The Edge in Toronto.

Oh, and if you are watching HBO's "The Newsroom" on Sunday night, July 22, you can see me playing Reese's secretary. I only have a few lines, so if you blink you'll miss me! But it's an amazing show that I am very excited to be a part of.

So, that's what's going on!
